Interesting that they mention that it looks like the artifacts may have an East-Asian (Siberian?) lineage presumably supporting the Bering crossing hypothesis.

- AlotOfReading 4y agoThere's pretty overwhelming amounts of evidence that ancestors of the first people of the Americas were from Northeast asia and crossed over near Beringia, though it's not clear (yet) whether that crossing was coastal/oceanic or inland Older ideas like the solutrean hypothesis are completely discredited because they're irreconcilable with a lot of distinct lines of well-established evidence.
